2015 Chevrolet Malibu Check Engine Light Reset
The check engine light on a 2015 Chevrolet Malibu can sometimes be reset after addressing the root cause, but an intentional reset without repair masks underlying problems and risks persistent damage.

Common diagnostic trouble codes for a 2015 Chevrolet Malibu include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), and oxygen sensor-related codes.
